5% is the max you're going to get on a 992 right now, unless you're a "high roller" at the dealership. Somewhere might verbally offer you 7% but no dealership is actually going to give up 7% to some random person out of state without recouping it through mysterious dealer fees.

I was able to get 5% from three different dealerships (one in Atlanta, one in Knoxville and one in Cincinnati) so it is easily doable. Regardless of the angst the salespeople seem to have. LOL

It's not going to happen. If a dealership gives you 7%, you're going to find extra charges come purchase time.

This thread is funny. Your dealer needs to make money. Porsche stores are not high volume stores (for the most part) and the real estate and building required aren't cheap. Labor isn't cheap. Having those nice mechanic shops are definitely not cheap. 5% discount is very fair. I'm still trying to figure out why humanity thinks they should get a discount of the listed price. Sense of pride? Want to win? Why don't you guys ask for $.20-.50 off on your happy meal at McDonalds?

^ People expect to be able to negotiate a discount because (other than Saturn), that's always been the nature of the car buying game. And your average Porsche owner has most likely purchased many, many cars in the past and been able to negotiate a discount on almost every single purchase. Btw, the second word in MSRP is "Suggested."

I think you some of you guys are under-estimating how variable the market is out there.
I bought a GT4, for instance, with no wait list and zero markup - back when that car was being sold with massive ADMs. It's not because I was some master negotiator. It's the market. If you call around and are serious about it and prepared to lay down a deposit, dealers will play ball.
Yes, the dealers like maximizing their profits -- but they also like moving units. The more units they move, the better position they are in to get the good stuff -- ie GT cars, etc. It's to their advantage to generate volume.

Don't even make the call until you are ready to close the deal over the phone if you get the discount you want. Otherwise you are a "tire kicker" and dealers sniff out "tire kickers" very quickly.
So when the preliminary phone interviewer says "when are you looking to buy the car?" the response should be "today." The next question will be "how are you planning to finance the car?" The answer should be "cash, loan or lease whichever benefits me most" (Never say "trade" even if that's what you plan on doing.) That will get you past the preliminary screener. Bring up a trade only after you've established the price of the new car under whatever buying method you've selected. That ensures you get a fair price for your trade, which is the auction value of your car.

I'm happy with the deal overall. I know i was able to squeeze the dealer harder and got 7% but instead, we were all happy with the 6.5%.
